For me the difference between SKy and Virgin is on demand. While Sky have the HD Virgin have the on demand. I would like more HD channels esp the sport but I am more than happy with on demand content as I rarely watch programs live. This is the future and you will see this happening more and more. If you are complaining about the price and HD offerings wait a few more years and you will pay per program!

Sorry to keep going over old ground in respect of people moaning about Sky Vs Virgin etc but just thought I'd add a few more points.

I was Sky through and through, I use to install back in the NTL day's and never really thought alot of the Tv side of things, however I do believe VOD has changed this. I still am not over impressed with the V+ EPG guide compared to Sky's but with TiVo on the horizon this is only going to improve leaps and bounds.

I love VOD, I have used it sooo much more than anticipated. My Wife also love's this feature, she initially didn't want to change but she like myself now laugh's when we get yet another come back to Sky for 50% off as we throw it in the bin!

VM provide a great service, yes thing's go wrong but they also do on other Platforms. (I had 3 Sky HD boxes prior to getting one that worked!)

Sorry for going on, I just can't believe how many people whine on here about the lack of SSP3 & 4 etc not in HD, Sky has pots of money as they can dominate the market due to the shear amount of coverage area they have. VM don't have this luxury, with what they have I feel VM do a sterling job. Likewise the VM employees, MB and many other's do on this site, they do it in their free time and do not deserve being slated for providing info. Simple solution, if you want the channel's not available on VM do everyone a favour and stop moaning on here and go and get Sky!!!.

Hiroki, it's just you, no-one else is affected. It's a conspiracy against you and you alone. It's never going to be fixed no matter who you contact! :eek:

I agree 100% and have to say that all the staff and also MB and the others that give all the info on here do a great job.

Also i think that once VM can get on a even keel that everybody will see massive changes in all areas of the business. They are already trialling over telephone lines and powerlines to areas that have not been cabledand also BT have been told to open up the ducting to other competitors ( so interesting times ahead ):erm:

May be wrong but i am stood up to be shot down:D:D:D

Not fully but BT have been told to open up the ducting so other providers have access to it. This is the only story that i am able to find about opening the ducting.

So would this mean VM could deliver the full cable services we receive now to new housing estates there are loads of new housing estates in my area who have no cable and loads of people on them say they would love the choice.

I noticed today that on the old VMtv channels they now have the same restriction when using interactive. If you want to read say BBC News the on demand trailer now shows rather than, for example Living TV in the mini screen. This has always been the case with any of the Sky branded channels.

A bit petty Sky!

I was under the impression they stopped supplying a free STB for DTT ages ago, that list of channels is very outdated too.

Taken from the Virgin National website and as we do not deal with that side of the business I have no idea of how accurate it may be but it is still up.
